Case Notes

Payments.

District court properly concluded that federal and Arkansas Medicaid laws, 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(25)(C) and this section, did not bar a medical services provider from foregoing Medicaid's guaranteed payment for covered services and opting instead to bill the patient or liable third parties directly. Robinett v. Shelby County Healthcare Corp., 895 F.3d 582 (8th Cir. 2018).
